The following might be something new to some of the forum members, but from the replies I got, it looks like an informed crowd  I took a geiger counter with recording feature there. Naturally, it also went with me on the airplane. In most parts around Chernobyl, I actually got a lot lower dose than I got on my flight to Kiev from Holland. The problematic part, and it was really astonishing to experience this in real life, was that you sometimes literally have to walk only 20 meters and the radiation dose will have gone up sixfold. The dead city isn't (mostly) abandoned because of high radiation, but because of unpredictability of radiation dose, as one of the reasons. Where was the highest dose experienced? Did you notice any non-obvious sources of latent radiation? Fission is...fascinating.

Thanks, Kage. I thought I was the only one. I hate ponies. Playing Team Fortress 2 has never been the same… AND IT’S ALL BY BRONIES’ FAULT. Bronies, beliebers, narutards, Little Jimmies… Same crap, different names.
It's thanks to this attitude that we have lost the very people who were regarded as the best contributors to EE and the SPC fandom. You are complaining that you cannot tolerate the enjoyment of My Little Ponies on a forum about a children's cartoon from the 90's. Not a single person has ever insisted to me that I not have my "Sonic" avatar, not a single person has ever been bothered by my references to Sonic the Hedgehog. You can say "They know it agitates me," and that may fly with some of my staff, but it won't fly with me. If I were intending to post a reference to SatAM, and I knew somebody here was bothered by it, why should I let that stop me? That isn't trolling. Were to go out of my way to agitate you, that would be trolling. And people who troll have been and will continue to be banned. My Little Pony avatars and sigs will continue to be allowed at this forum as long as I am an administrator here. Posters that start flame wars will be reprimanded. Sigs and avatars that are deliberately crafted to annoy or harass other users will continue to be banned. The staff here is competent enough to resolve these issues. I am closing this thread soon. If anybody cares to edge in comments, your window of opportunity is soon closing.
